'Secret' trick Harry Potter fans should use when visiting Universal Studios

Send Push

A content creator has revealed a Universal Studios 'hack' for fans.

In a video uploaded by Samantha Souza, which has nearly 200,000 views, the TikToker revealed how to experience the Hogwarts Castle without having to go on the ride.

Visitors can take a rollercoaster ride on Hagrid's motorbike that will take them in and around the grounds of the Hogwarts castle. While you queue up for the ride you get to walk through Hogwarts Castle, going by the moving portraits and through the magical corridors.

But for some, a rollercoaster ride may not be an option you want to take and thankfully this doesn't mean you have to miss out on the attraction.

In the video, she said: "If you're somebody who's been avoiding Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey because of motion sickness, you've been missing out on one of the most immersive things that is absolutely worth exploring.

"All you have to do is go up to the front of the magic ride and say these magic words."

The video then cuts to her asking one of the ride attendants: "I heard that there's a way to go through without actually having to go on the ride?"

In response, the attendant says: "Yeah the Castle Walk." So all fans need to ask is if they can experience the Castle Walk instead.

Visitors can walk through where the queue is and still get to see all of the things that those waiting for the ride will see. Samantha addsed "I am one of those people that always skips this experience because it always makes me sick, but going through the Castle Walk was so lovely.

"It really feels like you're walking right into the movies, it's so immersive and I can't believe that they put this much effort into simply a queue that a lot of people miss."

She said: "You can actually explore and take your time in Dumbledore's office. I always tell my friends to do it because they don't realise that they can."

In the comments, fans are very appreciative of the info. One said: "That's pretty awesome to know!"

While another said: "I wish I knew this! I never got on this ride again because I got so sick."
